Re: [Matplotlib-users] subplot axis ticks

[Gabriele B. <gb....@gm...>]

Hi,

I already saw that stack overflow page but

this is my code:

azal = rif.add_subplot(111)
azal.plot(eels*(10**9), averspe, label='data')
azal.plot(eels*(10**9), beck, label='fit')

I tried to add both
azal.yaxis.locator_params(nbins=4)
or
azal.locator_params(nbins=4)

and it doesn't work.

Gabriele
